Tammy Murphy has ended her campaign for the Senate in the race to replace Sen. Bob Menendez

Tammy Murphy, the wife of New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy, has suspended her primary campaign for the Senate on Sunday in the race to replace Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.

The announcement abruptly ends a highly anticipated Senate bid which launched with high expectations, and leaves Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) as the only major candidate remaining in the race. 

“After many busy, invigorating and yes challenging months, I am suspending my Senate campaign today,” Murphy announced in a video. “I’ve been genuine and factual throughout. But it is clear to me that continuing in this race will involve waging a very divisive and negative campaign, which I am not willing to do,” reported The Hill.

Her announcement leaves Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., as the only major candidate still in the race.

The New Jersey Globe reported that Murphy made the decision Saturday, citing a narrow path to victory that would require significant campaign self-funding.

In ending her campaign, Murphy did not name or endorse Kim, but did encourage party unity.

“With Donald Trump on the ballot and so much at stake for our nation, I will not in good conscience waste resources tearing down a fellow Democrat instead of talking about process and politics,” she said. “New Jersey’s next senator must focus on the issues of our time and not be mired in tearing others down while dividing the people of our party and state.”

Murphy struggled over concerns about her qualifications and ties to the Governor’s office. She said she will now shift her focus to assisting the Biden campaign, according to The Hill.
